Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

*** SORRY, but we have NO MORE AVAILABILITY for 2023, as we have to make our part of previous non-simultaneous exchanges and host family and friends, and we cannot set up any exchange in 2024, as we will stay in Paris for the Olympic Games ***

Our apartment is ideally located in the center of Paris, minutes by foot from major museums (Le Louvre, Beaubourg, ...), monuments (Notre-Dame, Opéra, Sainte-Chapelle, ...), shopping areas (Les Halles, Les Grands Boulevards), theater district, major metro and bus stations, in the authentic food market district of Paris (lots of restaurants and traditional food stores).

The apartment is at the third floor in a 18th century building (well maintained), in the back of a court : so it's very quiet, even in the middle of the city. But, sorry for that, the old stairs and no elevator will not give access for people having walking disability.

You will find :
- the bedroom, with a queen size bed, in the back of the apartment (even more quiet)
- the living room, with a convertible sofa, and TV
- the dining room with a dining area, sofa, books and TV
- the small office room with a desk area with computer, and a single convertible chair. You may use it to store your luggage
- the bathroom, with a bathtub, shower, and even a washing machine
- the toilets, apart from the bathroom
- the kitchen, fully equipped with oven, refrigerator (European size), microwave, coffee machine, ... Feel free to cook at home what you have bought in the many food stores nearby.

PC, printer/scanner, Internet and Wifi connections are available.
Audio and video system includes TV with international channels, DVD Blue-ray reader, ...
Telephone is free for main European destinations, and major international destination (USA, Canada, ...).

You will also find lots of books about Paris. Note that most of the points of interest are less than 30 minutes by foot.
However, Metro (line 3) and a bicycle rental station (Vélib) are at the corner and the largest metro station of Paris is less than 10 minute walk.

The apartment is ideal for two guests (1 double bed), even for four (1 convertible sofa for 2 ). And a single convertible chair can be used for one additional guest, or a kid.
Should you need assistance : Our daughter Annabelle lives in the suburbs of Paris, works in Paris in the tourism area, and is fluent in English, and our neighbours are very helpful.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

The whole Paris is our neighbor.
Everything you can expect from this city is only minutes from home.
The part of the Rue des Petits Carreaux where we live is just the norrth end of the Rue Montorgueil : see video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4L_qTTLvxKM
Few years ago, but still accurate, even if some shops changed. On a more recent video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHtamHIZ3OY , you may see our building entrance at 0:36, a red porch on the right side of the garbage collector truck.
As our apartment in on a back side of the court, it is very quiet, even if the street is crowdy and noisy.
